We are delighted to invite you to immerse yourself in the captivating realm of 'Emotional Contortionism' by Cristina Schek and ‘The Secret Forest’ by Leigh Warnick, two works that have been selected for the Arts Richmond Photographic Exhibition 2023: 'Turning Point', in conjunction with the renowned Roger McGough Poetry Competition. This remarkable exhibition promises to ignite your imagination and stir the depths of your soul.
The exhibition is open between 15th - 28th May 2023 at The Exchange in Twickenham (75 London Rd, Twickenham TW1 1BE).
'Emotional Contortionism' is a series of self-portraits by artist Cristina Schek that defies conventions, playing a visual trick on the viewer without any manipulation through Photoshop. The artist, in her signature Surreal vein, bends and twists our perception, just as we twist and turn in the dance of our relationships. The series mirrors the intricate navigation of thoughts and emotions, contorting our very being. As we go through the natural ebb and flow of life, the hope remains that we bend, but do not break.
Also, join us on a captivating journey through 'The Secret Forest', an ethereal creation by our esteemed director and founder, Leigh Warnick — a true Renaissance artist who effortlessly weaves his talents as a painter, sculptor, and photographer into a tapestry of enchantment. In this work, the interplay of light and shadow, the rich textures, and the meticulous attention to detail transport us to a place where secrets whisper and ancient trees guard their timeless wisdom.
